The Greatest
Spring Tonic.

At this season of the year Almost
every one experiences sensation of
general lassitude and debility, which,
if neglected, results in low, vitiated
condition of the vital forces, that
follows the sufferer throughout the
summer, and usually terminates in
some form of malarial or typhoid
fever. If, however, the patient has
the wisdom to take some reliable
remedy that gently acts on the slug
gish liver, enabling it to speedily
carry off all impurities, while at the
same time the system is vitalized and
invigorated, and the blood enriched,
the result is condition of vigorous
health. This result is invariably

SHELVING CRIMINALS

The spirit of the old blue laws still lin
gers in Connecticut. An evidence of this
fact is found in the recommendation re-
Gently made by the governor of that com
monwealth to the legislature concerning
the penal system. He proposes reform
of the crawtish type. While the rest of
the country is moving forward on reform
plane. the governor of Connecticut
proposes retrograde revolution. He
takes the ground that it is impossible
to reform criminals, and that the only pro-
lection that society can have is to shut
up forever within prison walls the entire
criminal class of the state. He says that
confinement only brutaltzes a criminal and
intensifies his evil tendencies; consequently
he thinks that when a criminal is once
placed behind the bars he ought to be kept
there forever. and not be turned loose to
begin again career of robbery and murder.
The Connecticut plan may be safe way of
disposing of criminals, but public sentiment
is overwhelming in its belief that it would
be an unjust plan.

Bulg aria.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 15.-It is an
,nounced in semi-official circles that Russia.
having been solicited by the powers to
name candidate for the Bulgarian throne,
designates Prince Nicholas. of Mngrelia.
Austria stated that any candidate would
be acceptable to her, provided he was not
a Montenegrin prince. The reception of
the nomination of Prince Nicholas con-
WINGED Russia that preconceived DISPOSE
ton existed to reject it. more because the
nomination was advanced by Russia than
from any objection to Prince Nicholas per-
sonally. Amy other candidate who was
patronized by Russia would encounter the
same difficulty. Hence Russia is not dis
posed to choose another candidate, though
Europe might possibly accept him. Russia
desires that before the candidature of
Prince Nicholas be decided the regents and
their supporters withdraw their opposition
to him, and that he be fairly presented to
the Bulgarian people, who shall be allowed
freely to decide whether they will ac cept
him or not. Russia will not consider the
question of presenting the name of another
candidate until the Bulgarans reject Prince
Nicholas, under the conditions mentioned
above.

THEDAKoTA OFFICES.

The Dakota politician who expressed HIM
self to the GLOBES Washington cores
pondent as being strongly opposed to the
effort certain Republican papers in Dakota
are making to impress Gov. CHURCH with
the belief that a portion Of the territorial
offices should not be filed with Republicans,
is evidently a very level-headed man.
The Democrats are responsible for the ad-
ministration of affairs in Dakota. and they
are more than ready to accept the trust. If.
then, there were no other reason. and
there are many. why the subordinate offices
should be filled with Democrats exclusively,
that one would be sufficient. From COVER
nor to the lowest office in the territory those
holding official positions should be of the
same political faith. not only that they who
have fought the good fight might be re-
Warded, but that in all departments there
should be the harmony which comes from a
unanimity of political opinion. The Re-
publicans have shown no disposition
to give the Democracy representation
when it came to matter of Office filling
and there is no reason whatever why the
Democrats should not set the example by
extending to their enemies an invitation to
enjoy the fruits of victory. With all fair
minded Republicans and with Democrats
generally, Gov. CHURCH will take long
stride toward popularity if he refuses to
appoint single member of the opposite
party to any office within his gift.

The late Capt. Wallace II. Hall. of the
United States secret service. shortly before
his removal to ST. Louis, is said to have
been investigating a gigantic counterfeit
ing scheme by which alleged rare. costly
and unique coins were being put upon the
market as genuine. In 1885 Philadelphia
coin dealer named Hazletine advertised an
auction sale of his superfiuous coins. includ-
ing an 1904 dollar, only six of which are
known to have been coined before the issue
was recalled. But the value Of one of
these dollars is $500 or more. and so great
interest was excited in the sale. A we'll
known connoisseur who attended dscov-
cred that some of the coins were not genu-
inc. and on the collection being sent to the
mint it was found that large number of
the coins had been made within year.
The government officials are now convinced
that some of the shrewdest counterfeiters
in the country are making fortunes in this
business.

CHURCH,s CONFIRMATION.

There is no reason why the senate should
refuse to confirm Judge CHURCH's- ap-
pointment as governor of Dakota, and the
opposition which is reported to be organic
ing aga INST him is probably without mater
ial foundation. Though doubtless most
Dakotans would have been better pleased
had man who was more closely identified
with them and their interests been selected
as governor. there is widespread opinion
that Judge CHURCH will admirably fill
the Office for which he has been chosen.
Though not long resident in the territory,
he is not unfamiliar with Dakota affairs.
Personally he is man Of ability and of
unblemished record. No exception can be
taken to him OH that score. AS Demo-
crat he has been steadfast and true. 1t is,
therefore, quite probable that the delay in
his continuation has been due more to a
press of other business before the senate
than to any developed opposition, and that
before many days have passed senatorial
consent will be given to his appointment.

Tie CARNIVAL OpENING.

The carnival opens tomorrow, and for
the next two weeks the city will be the
scene of a continuous round of winter sports
and amusements. Last years ice carnival
was the first experiment of the kind ever
made in the United States, and it was made
such brilliant success that it was impossl-
BILE not to renew it this season. The prep
arations have been made on a more extern
sive scale this year than the last. There
has been more time for the preparation.
and the financial success attending last
years enterprise encouraged the managers
of the association to be more liberal in the
expenditure of money. This year we have
two palaces. although under different man
agement. The " est side palace was opened
last night in a blaze of glory. There was
something of the old-time carnival enthusi-
asm aroused. and the demonstrations of last
winter were brought forcibly to mind. 1t
was a good prelude to the formal carnival
opening tomorrow.

ORR ENERGETIC NAVY.

Let no one hereafter say that the Ameri-
can navy is useless. that the expenditure OF
something like 10000, 600 annually has
been without avail. Let it not be whispered
that the so-called navy consists in the
main of an aggregation of useless hulkS,
and that its officers. through long soiourn-
ing in Washington bathrooms, have become
but carpet knights, unable to hail the
main-top or ''shiyer their tlmberS' in good
old Capt. MARRYAT fashion, whose sole
remaining professional accomplishment is a
wonderful proficiency in Isl Icing the
main BRACE" and whose detestatiOn of
active service arises through a combined
fear of seasckness and of going to the
bottom in one Of the floating collins by
courtesy called men-of-war. There have
been those who have held such
opinions, but they must now hide
their diminished heads in shame.
The navy has actually accomplished some
thing, and in doing it vessel has conf
pleted a cruise Of year, arriving in port
wonderful TO relate, with all on board.
The Mohican was the name of the eXtlaor-
binary ship, and the duty intrusted to her
just one year ago was to secure stone
image of prehistoric man from Easter
Island. She has performed the task allotted
her and all praise is due her energetic COM
mander who thus at the same time vndi-
Gates the navy from the aspersions cast
upon her and the officers from any inslnua-
ton of lacking Seasmanship or valor. But
the thought cannot help occurring; If it
took a year to secure the stone image of a
native long since dead. how long would it
have taken the Mohican to capture live
Indian provided with swift gliding canoe?
Still such doubt is gratuitous. 1t is
enough that it has been shown that the
navy can, on occasion, accomplish some
things.

CONTRASTING GOVERNMENTS


In view OF a probable conflict among
European nations in the near future. the re-
cent speech of Secretary BAYARD pointing
out the essential difference between our
| form of government and that of continental
countries was as timely as it was able
With tremendous standing armies whose
| support is a severe charge upon the people
and whose despotic presence is a constant
menace to the public peace, it takes but
little to turn possibility of conflict into
actual warfare. With heroic means of
settling dispute at hand, governments
which seriously differ are not disposed to
submit to the decision of civil or diplomatic
tribunals. Believing in the creed that
might makes right, each country endeavors
to make itself the strongest and prefers
the hazard of battle to judicial award
founded upon learned arguments. 1t hap
pens, therefore, that the standing armies.
being constantly increased, become every
year a severer drain upon the re-
| sources of tax ridden people. At
the present. time, for instance, the
curious and alarming spectacle is pre-
sented of nalf the adult male population of
Europe under arms in anticipation of a con-
fiict likely at any time to occur, and in
which the points of difference present no
feature which would not render them sus-
ceptble of being brought into agreement by
court of arbitration. In America, as Mr..
BAYARD pointed out, the case is far differ
ent. The sentiment of the public opposes
standing armies of size greater than that
necessary for garrison duty, and the cOun-
try does not either now. or in anticipation,
require their services. The people are re-
lieved, therefore, of oppressive taxation,
and in place of armed despotism there exists
a government of peace and intelligence, a
government which does not seek to make
use of the people. but which is for the peo-
Pile; country in which the difficulty is not
how further taxes may be raised but how
existing taxes may be reduced and an enor-
nous surplus properly expended. In such
a country the people of monarchy ridden
nations can find a safe asylum, and in the
event of the European complications lead
ing to a serious outcome, they will probably
take advantage of it by the thousands.
When of the right sort they will be well
coined, too.
